Company samples in Greenland
The dataset contains geochemical sample data from four company reports submitted to the Ministry of Mineral Resources (MMR) and previously to the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS). The reports were originally delivered in paper format and later scanned. The geochemical data have been digitally restored through optical character recognition of scanned documents and georeferencing of sample locations. The dataset has been uploaded to the GEUS sample database with necessary adjustments to sample names and metadata. The dataset includes samples with coordinates but without geochemical analyses, as well as samples with analyses lacking unambiguous coordinates.

- Beskrivelse
-
The dataset is based on four historical company reports (Allen & Harris, 1980; Coppard et al., 1992; Harris et al., 1992; Pearson & Joudrie, 1995). The reports were originally submitted in paper format and later scanned. The geochemical data were digitally restored through optical character recognition (OCR) of text and numerical values and through georeferencing of sample locations. Errors may have been introduced during scanning, OCR processing and digitisation. The matching between geochemical analyses and geographic coordinates is not unambiguous in all cases. Information on analytical methods, detection limits and measurement uncertainty is generally sparse or not reported in the original sources. During upload to the GEUS sample database, sample names and certain metadata fields were adjusted to comply with the database structure.
